Science with Physics, Chemistry, Biology

The medical route. Narrower than PCM, and it commits you earlier than most families realise.

Where it leads

• MBBS and BDS
• AYUSH
• Nursing and allied health
• Pharmacy
• Biotechnology
• Veterinary science
• Agriculture

Can you change your mind later?

PCB closes engineering unless you take PCMB. If NEET does not work out, the fallback routes are allied health, pharmacy, life sciences or a switch to a non-science degree.

The mistake families make here

Treating PCB as 'MBBS or nothing'. Allied health and nursing have strong outcomes and a fraction of the competition, and almost nobody is told this at the right moment.

Where students are usually competitive

Above 75% in Class 10 Science is a reasonable indicator; NEET competition is severe regardless. Coaching is the dominant cost; private medical seats run into tens of lakhs, government seats do not.
